Here's a quickie blog! I have to jet!
About a month ago, I had a dream. It was a mother pig on a platter and she was being prepped to be cooked. Before they cooked the mother pig, they placed the baby pig on her to say good bye. It was a disgusting dream. I don't understand where that came from, but I knew I didn't want to eat meat after that dream.
I was a vegetarian for many years after my daughter was born. It felt very natural for me not to eat it. Going forward, I am going to try to cut back on sugar and processed foods. That's very exciting and challenging for me. I can't wait to look up new recipes and try new veggies and fruits. I think it's going to be an interesting journey.

Body Image
This is my very first blog. I was inspired by this other blogger who was blogging about their pear shaped body. I am in my late 30's and I still struggle with accepting my body. I have thick legs/thighs and I have a booty. I like my booty :)
I am big on the bottom, but small on top. I didn't have a problem with body image until people started making comments about my breast size. Yes, I am fully aware that I am small on top...so what?! I don't understand why people feel compelled to make comments or jokes about my breasts being small? It blows me away.
Now, I feel self conscious about my breasts. I go back and forth about getting breast implants. A big part of me thinks it's a complete waste of time. I don't want to spend thousands of dollars for something that can potentially harm me. At the same time, I have met many women who gone through the procedure and they are doing fine and their implants look natural and pretty amazing.
I notice some celebrities that are pear shaped and have similar features as me. I look at them and think their beautiful. I know they receive a ton of positive and negative critizims about their bodies. I just wonder how they handle the negative press?? I realize that no one is perfect. I want to feel comfortable in my skin and not allow negative comments/jokes shake me.
I know there are other women out there like me. How do you accept your body? How do you handle people who joke or make rude comments? How do you love your pear shaped body?
